I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 466 Integration and Cooperation

With the fusion with the Golden Dragon of National Fortune, other changes occurred, generating in the consciousness space of the void life.

The already nearly solidified celestial status instantly solidified and evolved completely.

"Om~!"

The celestial aura trembled slightly, and a mysterious power spread out, instantly sweeping over the body and soul of that void being, completing the final fusion.

In an instant, a message entered the mind of the void being.

Sensing the information in his mind, the Void Being's expression shifted, its expression unreadable, whether joy or sorrow.

At this moment, he had fully grasped the secrets of celestial status and the various cultivation methods derived from it.

Meditation, seal formation, supernatural powers, longevity, celestial being, immortality, grotto-heaven, Dao master, realm heaven, immortality.
The ten realms, from lowest to highest, advance step by step, leading directly to immortality.

Furthermore, each level of cultivation, through the refinement of countless practitioners, has reached a point close to perfection, almost unalterable yet capable of being changed at will.

Any form of spiritual practice can be perfectly integrated into it.

Similarly, after reaching the realm of the Dao Fruit of the Cave Heaven, one can naturally evolve and condense one's own Dao Fruit based on one's own cultivation and understanding, and then evolve the Great Dao, create worlds, and so on.

Even within the realm of immortality, there are immortal emperors who have revealed the secrets of the immortal realm, allowing everyone to comprehend them.

It can be said that although there is only one dynasty at the current level of immortality, the cultivation of the Great Dao of Immortality can only be achieved through one's own understanding and cannot be copied from others.

But at least we have some corresponding benchmarks.

Moreover, the Great Dao of the Dynasty is the fundamental source of everything, integrating all the Great Daos, all the laws and principles of the Dao.

To some extent, the Great Dao of the Dynasty can evolve into any Great Dao.

Using it as a reference, after reaching the peak of the Realm of Heaven, one can find the secrets of one's own Great Dao and immortality within it.

Even if it's just a crude set of principles and laws, or even just a vague direction, it's enough to point out a general path and goal.

Having experienced all of this, the being of true emptiness was filled with awe and wonder.

Unexpectedly, this cultivation method, which is based on the Heavenly Rank and Status, can almost lead to the realm of immortality.

However, having the direct path to immortality also meant being completely bound to this system.

For a moment, his heart was filled with complex emotions, including a yearning for immortality, information about the future, and a trace of resentment.

However, compared to achieving immortality, being bound to a certain system doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Moreover, weren't they already in the void system before?
However, compared to the void, it is much larger and is the very foundation from which they were born and conceived.

However, despite being in the void for countless years, they have not even touched the threshold of immortality.

On the contrary, it's only been a short time, yet they seem to have already begun to touch upon immortality.

Therefore, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with them switching to a different system, one that leads directly to immortality.

Moreover, to some extent, isn't this system also existing in the void?
Thinking of this, his inner turmoil immediately subsided, and he seemed to be free of any burden.

Only a trace of resentment remained buried deep within my heart.

Well, his resentment was never about changing the system; he just didn't want to be controlled by others.

It was incorporated into the system of great principles created by others, and the result speaks for itself.
They will always be his disciples and followers, with no possibility of surpassing him.

Although they themselves, in the endless years of the void, have never touched the threshold of immortality.

Upon letting go, a smile immediately appeared on the face of the Void Being.

Nowadays, although achieving true immortality remains extremely difficult, there is at least a narrow path.

With the surrounding aura of immortality, breaking through to immortality is no longer an unattainable goal for him.

Scanning its surroundings and sensing the immortal aura around it, the void being looked elsewhere again.

His current control over his sphere of influence has already imbued the surrounding area with a profound sense of immortality.

If he could control more places, or even the entire Dead Wasteland, how much more immortal intent could he gain?

It's even possible that it could go a step further and directly integrate some elements of immortality.

Even a tiny bit of it would probably be enough to allow him to break through instantly and reach the realm of half-immortality.

Even though it is still some distance from true immortality, it has ultimately been given the title of immortal and possesses the essence of being immortal and indestructible.

Thus, in the endless years that followed, he was always able to break through and reach the realm of immortality.

Unfortunately.
He sensed the boundary between his own nation's fate and that of other nations' fates, and sighed inwardly.

At the same time, he looked at Ming Huang Guoyun across from him again, a dark glint flashing in his eyes, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

They ultimately did not escape.
Humans are truly the most cunning of creatures.

At this time, the other nine void beings had also completed their fusion with the Golden Dragon of National Fortune, completely transforming into beings equal to the native life forms, breathing the same air and sharing the same fate as the world, protected by dragon energy and upheld by the will of immortality.

In this situation, the weaker faction might not possess the same dragon aura, national fortune, or even the surrounding immortal intent as the other factions.

However, it's more than enough for self-defense.

No matter what they are, they cannot be killed.

Just as numerous void beings completely merged with the national fortune golden dragon, evolving into celestial and earthly statuses and becoming beings of the dead wasteland, Wang Jingchen on the outer battlefield also instantly sensed something.

After the Celestial Empire's national fortune invaded the Wasteland of the Dead, it immediately began to spread rapidly and merge with its very essence.

Although the formation of the extraterritorial battlefields and the desolate wastelands was not initiated or evolved by the destiny of the Celestial Empire.

However, they also share a great deal of similarity.

In addition, the battlefields outside the territory have now become an extension of the Celestial Empire's world.

As the fate of the Celestial Empire spread to battlefields outside the region, the two sides began to engage in deep integration.

Especially as the Celestial Empire's national fortunes extended into the desolate and deadly lands, the integration between the two sides became increasingly close and profound.

Although it cannot yet be considered the realm of immortals and the realm of the underworld opened up within the nation's destiny, it is already not far off.

Similar to the Celestial and Underworld realms within the Celestial Empire, which are completely integrated with the world.

Later, the Heavenly Dynasty's national fortune was discovered by those ten void beings, who then formed a force to resist the invasion of the Heavenly Dynasty's national fortune. Wang Jingchen witnessed all of this.

It's even possible that he deliberately guided and facilitated this process.

The reason for this is the celestial status of those ten void life consciousness spaces.

As the Crown Prince of the Celestial Empire and the eldest son of the dynasty, Wang Jingchen's control over the Celestial Empire's world and national destiny was second only to the dynasty itself.

The fate of a nation unfolds along the great path of destiny, and the status of heaven and earth unfolds along the great path of status; all of this will be integrated into the world.

As someone who can control the world to a certain extent through the nation's destiny, Wang Jingchen is naturally able to sense all those who possess the status of a celestial being.

Before the nation's fate spread to battlefields outside its borders, Wang Jingchen had little awareness or control over it.

However, as the nation's fortunes spread to battlefields beyond its borders and into the desolate wastelands, Wang Jingchen immediately regained control of the world.

The illusory celestial positions within those numerous void beings naturally appeared in his perception.

Upon realizing this, he immediately felt a stirring in his heart and began to use the fate of the nation to force them to unite and form a force.

The final result was exactly as he expected: the ten void beings completely merged into the desolate wasteland of the dead zone, evolving into celestial and divine status.

To be honest, if the Celestial Empire were an ordinary imperial dynasty, he would just be the crown prince of an ordinary imperial dynasty.

Naturally, they wouldn't think of forcing them to unite and form a force to fight against them by pressing and oppressing them step by step. Wouldn't that just create more enemies and opponents for themselves?

Unfortunately, the Celestial Dynasty is not an ordinary imperial dynasty, nor is he the crown prince of an ordinary imperial dynasty. The entire world, and the evolution of all the great principles, are all within the framework of the dynasty's planning.

As the Crown Prince of the Celestial Empire, he will inevitably inherit all of this and become the secondary fundamental source of all the evolution of the Great Dao.

Since that's the case, he should view the issue from this perspective. As long as someone is integrated into the system of Heavenly Status, regardless of whether they submit to the Heavenly Dynasty or not, he can tolerate them.

Just like the Ming Dynasty under Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, although they were incorporated into the dynastic system.

However, it did not join the Celestial Empire, and the dynasty never intended to conquer it and bring it under its complete rule. Instead, it allowed it to develop on its own.

The way Wang Jingchen is dealing with those ten void beings is essentially the same approach.

In fact, on the surface, those ten void beings blocked the expansion of the Celestial Empire's national fortune.

In fact, the fate of the Celestial Empire has penetrated deep into the battlefields beyond the borders, and the very foundation of the Dead Wasteland has been completely integrated into the entire Dead Wasteland.

To some extent, the battlefields and wastelands beyond our borders have now become the realms of immortals and the underworld within the destiny of the Celestial Empire.

However, like other realms of immortals and the underworld, it has a real-world foundation.

Everything in this can be said to be under Wang Jingchen's control.

The forces established by those ten void beings were merely equivalent to various civilian forces under the rule of the Celestial Empire, only their sphere of influence was slightly larger.

As for gathering the golden dragon of national destiny
Don't forget, the Celestial Empire would enfeoff feudal lords in other worlds.

These feudal lords were all capable of converging the golden dragon of national destiny.

Similar to the world hierarchy, it can be divided into dukes, kingdoms, dynasties, and empires.

The Celestial Empire reigns supreme over it.

However, regardless of the level of power, all can gather the Golden Dragon of National Fortune, but they will be subject to the control of the higher-level world countries.

However, the forces these void beings have formed so far do not yet have an independent world.

But essentially there is not much difference.

This was one of the reasons why the expressions of those void beings had changed so drastically before.

They never imagined that their arduous struggle would only result in them willingly and more quickly selling themselves to the Celestial Empire.

When the changes in the desolate wasteland ceased, the fate of the Celestial Empire instantly began to churn violently.

"Ang~!"

The dragon's roar resounded throughout the universe, and a golden dragon symbolizing the nation's destiny, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, slowly emerged.

Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in front of him.

The figure was dressed in a crown robe, with a purple-gold canopy on his head, and tassels and pendants hanging down, showing his noble and extraordinary aura.

Despite its relatively small size, it exuded an extremely strong presence, instantly drawing the attention of the ten void beings.

"The Crown Prince of the Celestial Empire??"

As they murmured to themselves, they all made their own thoughts and instantly descended outside the Heavenly Dynasty's national destiny.

Looking at Wang Jingchen across from them, their lips parted slightly, yet they didn't know what to say.

"Crown Prince Wang Jingchen of the Celestial Empire greets all of you."

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince"

The ten void beings hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke up, addressing him as "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

By this point, they had no other choice.

"I'm sure you all are already aware of the situation that China faces on the battlefields outside its borders today."
"In the war to come, we will need your assistance."

Wang Jingchen paused at this point before speaking again.

"Of course, our Celestial Empire will also provide corresponding rewards and gifts for this."

I believe you have all felt the rewards that were bestowed upon you in the previous world, right?

If you make even greater contributions in the future, you will surely receive even greater rewards.

At this point, Wang Jingchen paused again, looking at the jeweled canopy above their heads and the wisps of immortality surrounding them, and then smiled once more, saying:

"Perhaps taking it a step further is not impossible."

The moment these words were spoken, the ten void beings in front of him couldn't help but step forward in unison, their faces showing excitement.

"This is true!"

If they could truly go further and reach the realm of immortality, then they would definitely want the credit for resisting foreign enemies.

"Haha, of course it's true!"

My father, the current Emperor of the Celestial Empire, has long since achieved immortality.

If it weren't for the need to train us...
hehe"

Wang Jingchen laughed loudly and nodded affirmatively.

Upon hearing this, the ten void beings immediately changed their expressions.

Having fully evolved their divine status, they already possessed some information from it. Coupled with the immortal aura surrounding them, they naturally knew that what Wang Jingchen said was probably true.

The one fighting them was not someone like Wang Jingchen or others at the Realm of Heaven or even the Dao Lord level, but rather an emperor of the Empire at the Immortal level.

It's likely that with just a thought, these void beings would be completely wiped out.

For a moment, the ten void beings fell silent, secretly relieved that it wasn't that immortal emperor who made the move.

"it is good!"

"can!"

"We agree!"

After a moment, the ten void beings finally nodded vigorously and agreed.

"If any void beings invade, we will do everything in our power to assist His Highness the Crown Prince in defending against the enemy."

"Haha, great!"
Now that we have reached a consensus, I would like to present you all with a generous gift.

Wang Jingchen laughed loudly, a thought suddenly forming in his mind.

In an instant, the national fortune of the Celestial Empire, which occupied half of the Wasteland of the Dead, faded and dissipated, and withdrew from the Wasteland of the Dead.

In reality, although the two sides appear to be cooperating, they are actually in a superior-subordinate relationship.

However, those void beings were still somewhat reluctant to lower themselves, and Wang Jingchen didn't pressure them too much.

There is a big difference between doing things willingly and voluntarily and being forced to do things.

The sheer power of the dynasty, an immortal entity, was enough to deter them from harboring any ulterior motives.

With military force in place, Prince Wang Jingchen of the Celestial Empire naturally resorted to appeasement through civil means.

Of course, this is only relative.

Wang Jingchen's own strength is in no way inferior to theirs.

Otherwise, his appeasement efforts would be largely ineffective.

When the dominant or leading side is being appeased, it's called "appeasement," but if the weaker side is involved, even with other forms of deterrence, it's still easily perceived as weak.
